Everything was wonderful...up until 'the incident'!! Hostel is centrally located and well run, with many rooms serviced and cleaned regularly. It was a very nice stay...until it got SUPER eventful. One evening, around 10pm, the ceiling pipes started overflowing. By 2am, the 3rd floor was almost completely underwater, mixed use water spilling from the ceiling in a majority of rooms and everyone had to be evacuated!! Everyone was provided with new room in the St. Kilda Selina, and all staff were ready to assist and super helpful under these emergency mid-night conditions!

AustraliaCool hotel in a great location, loads of public transport and walkable to most any sights. Big comfy bed and cool design throughout the hotel, and extra facilities like a kitchen, movie room, and library. Staff were friendly and helpful, and there's a keyed entry to the building at night for extra security. Free WiFi was great and a pretty good speed. A/C in the room was much appreciated in summer, and the room was a decent size with big windows. Overall a great stay and good value!

AustraliaQuite possibly the best hostel in Melbourne. I've stayed here multiple times, and it's my go-to for solo visits. People have great stories to share from their experiences (especially if they're visiting Australia). Beds are made brilliantly for a budget stay, and they're comfortable. They offer private storage underneath beds if you bring a padlock. Underground, there is a cozy lounge to mingle or even relax which I found to be fantastic, and the lounge includes a bar. The location is one of the best you'll find in Melbourne, as it's just a 2 minute walk to Flinders station & tram lines that go around and out of the CBD.
